Ten Indicted in Meth Ring

Joint Law Enforcement Effort Proves Effectiveness of New Meth Laws

Columbia, SC – Attorney General Henry McMaster, along with Greenville County Sheriff Steve Loftis, Laurens County Sheriff Ricky Chastain, and Anderson County Sheriff David Crenshaw today announced a significant Methamphetamine (“meth”) bust and drug dealer roundup in the Upstate.

Ten (10) defendants allegedly involved in the Upstate drug ring were indicted by the state grand jury on July 23, 2008. The indictments illustrate how law enforcement officials were able to use the state’s new meth laws effectively to track down local meth lab cooks and their co-conspirators.
